Vici Gaming vs. Team Aster Preview & Prediction - Free Dota 2 Betting Picks 7/23

Vici Gaming and Team Aster will face each other in the upper bracket of the DPL-CDA Professional League Season 2. The DPL-CDA Professional League Season 2 includes the best Chinese Dota 2 teams competing for a ¥1,300,000 CNY prize pool.

Vici Gaming has been one of the best Dota 2 teams in the past few weeks. The Chinese Dota 2 roster has a depth to its hero pool and can often outlast its outmaneuver its opponents in the draft phase. Vici Gaming topped the group stage with a 7-2 score. The team’s only two losses came against PSG.LGD and CDEC. Despite playing at a disadvantage against Invictus Gaming in Game 1, Vici’s positioning and approach to team fights allowed the team to win team fights at the appropriate moment.

Team Aster has also been a surprise revelation in the past few months. Team Aster had a 2-0 win against Sparking Arrow Gaming in the quarterfinals. Aster’s roster has players like Sccc, Fade and BoBoKa. These players have years of experience playing tier 1 Dota 2.

Pick: Over 2.5 (+130 @ Pinnacle)

I am taking Team Aster and Vici Gaming to go over 2.5 maps in the semifinals. The two teams are the best Dota 2 teams in the region and this match will be an extremely competitive best-of-three series.
